The White House is hosting a summit, starting Monday, that brings together state and federal officials to develop a strategy for promoting science, technology, engineering and math education. Representatives from across the country, including Texas, are attending the event organized by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

This is the third story I’ve produced during my internship with Texas Standard. My spot occurs at the 1:25 minute mark until 2:25. I interviewed Ruth Ruggero Hughs, the Commissioner representing employers on the Texas Workforce Commission, about her role representing Texas at the White House STEM Summit.

I wrote and voiced the spot, as well as edited Ruggero Hughs’ audio while putting the whole story together.
